Industrial & Embedded computer manufacturer Logic Supply has introduced the CL100 Fanless Mini PC, an ultra-compact computer that contains no moving parts, featuring all-metal construction and stands less than 2" tall. Based on Intel's popular Next Unit of Computing (NUC) motherboard form factor, the CL100 Series utilises passive thermal management to cool internal components, allowing for a completely ventless enclosure, keeping out dust and other airborne debris and extending the system's lifespan.

"The CL100 is the product of years spent working with Embedded Engineers and Systems Administrators around the world who are looking for a more reliable, easier to install and simpler to maintain computer," says Logic Supply Mechanical Engineer Hans Brakeley. "Fanless systems are quickly becoming the go-to solution for both industrial and consumer computing. The CL100 combines a variety of I/O and impressive processing performance with a small form factor that can go wherever it's needed. We wanted to create a computer that could truly live up to the idea of 'Anything, Anywhere', and we think the CL100 fits that bill."

Designed to offer a versatile computing platform for a wide range of applications including digital signage, interactive kiosks, industrial workstations and even everyday computing desktop replacement, the CL100 features a Quad-Core Intel Celeron N3150 processor with onboard Intel HD Graphics. The system can power triple independent displays or accommodate 4k resolution, making it ideally suited for multimedia installations. Connectivity includes 4 USB 3.0 ports (including one Type C port), 2x HDMI, DisplayPort, and Gb LAN.

The CL100 can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM, up to 512GB of mSATA solid state storage and is WiFi and Bluetooth capable. Operating system options include both Windows and Ubuntu Linux. In a recent review, Lawrence Lee from Silent PC Review called the CL100, "possibly the best value you'll currently find for a small, fanless, well-built NUC, equally suited to use at home, office, or a physically demanding environment." The CL100 utilises Logic Supply's unique Hardshell Fanless Technology, which combines proprietary solid state cooling, ingress protection and ruggedisation to create ultra-reliable computer hardware that can stand up to the most challenging manufacturing, data acquisition and IIoT environments.
